As I wandered the beach with grains of sand under my feet so numerous they could not be counted, I was reminded of God’s wonderful works and his thoughts toward me.

More than can be numbered…

Many, O LORD my God,

are thy wonderful works which thou hast done,

and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:

they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:

if I would declare and speak of them,

they are more than can be numbered.

~Psalm 40:5

And thoughts of peace…

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,

thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

~Jeremiah 29:11

 

How good God is to me…
